Production of doubly charged ions in the ionisation of Ba atoms in two laser fields

Abstract

The production of doubly charged ions is studied upon multiphoton ionisation of Ba atoms exposed simultaneously to two radiation fields: the fundamental radiation of a colour centre laser (ω = 8800 — 8880 cm -1 ) and its second harmonic. A two-electron mechanism was shown to be responsible for the production of these ions.

The two-electron mechanism of the formation of doubly charged ions by the multiphoton ionization of Ba atoms with two-laser radiation

І. І. Бондар, В. В. Суран

The experimental investigation of the formation of doubly charged ions by the multiphoton ionization of Ba atoms by simultaneous irradiation with the fundamental radiation of a colour centres laser (ω = 8800–8880 cm −1 ) and its second harmonics was carried out. A two-electron mechanism was observed to be responsible for the formation of these ions; they are formed as a result of the excitation and subsequent ionization of strongly perturbed states of neutral Ba atoms.

Variation of the mechanism of Ba/sup 2+/ ions formation during multiphoton ionisation of atoms

В. В. Суран, І. І. Бондар

Summary form only given. Beginning with first experiments, where the effect of doubly-charged ions formation was discovered, intensive investigations to determine the mechanism leading to the production of doubly-charged ions in different spectral ranges are carried out. The main goal of our work is the creation of conditions for realization of direct two-electron mechanism of Ba/sup 2+/ ions formation in the visible spectral range. The experimental setup consists in following: during ionization of Ba atoms by visible laser radiation we realized strong additional perturbation of atoms by laser radiation of another frequency range.

Use of the ac Stark effect to alter the mechanism of formation of doubly charged ions in the ionisation of barium atoms by visible light

І. І. Бондар, В. В. Суран

The influence of an additional perturbation (the ac Stark effect) of neutral barium atoms on the formation of doubly charged ions in the course of ionisation of these atoms by visible light (by the second harmonic radiation of an yttrium-aluminium garnet laser) was investigated experimentally. The frequency-tunable radiation of a colour-centre laser (ω = 8500 — 8950 cm -1 ) was used in these investigations to effect the additional perturbation of barium atoms. It was found that this perturbation changed the mechanism of formation of the doubly charged Ba 2+ ions from a stepwise to a two-electron mechanism. The yield of the Ba 2+ ions increased sharply under these conditions.

Cascade mechanism of formation of doubly charged ions upon multiphoton ionization of barium atoms by linearly and circularly polarized radiation (ω = 16800–18700 cm−1)

В. В. Суран, І. І. Бондар

The process of formation of doubly charged ions upon multiphoton ionization of barium atoms by linearly and circularly polarized radiation of dye lasers is studied in the frequency range from 16800 to 18700 cm −1 . A large number of resonance maxima in the yield of Ba + and Ba 2+ ions were observed upon tuning the radiation frequency. It is unambiguously proved that most resonance maxima in the yield of Ba 2+ ions are associated with the resonance transitions in the spectrum of Ba + ions. This fact confirms the cascade mechanism of formation of Ba 2+ ions in the frequency range of localization of these maxima.

Probability of the two-electron mechanism of the formation of doubly charged barium ions as a function of laser radiation intensity

І. І. Бондар, В. В. Суран, Denys I. Bondar

The formation of singly and doubly charged ions upon nonlinear ionization of barium atoms is studied as a function of the frequency and intensity of a 8800-8920-cm−1 IR color center laser. Barium atoms are ionized via the four-photon resonance with the strongly perturbed bound 6p 2 1 D 2 state. Doubly charged barium ions are produced by a two-electron mechanism. It is found that the probability of the formation of doubly charged ions under these conditions linearly depends on the laser radiation intensity.
